3D Printing Breakthrough Builds Realistic Human Hand Model
A new 3D printing method, called Crystallinity Regulation in Additive Fabrication of Thermoplastics (CRAFT), offers a superior alternative to medical cadavers by simulating the connections between bone, ligament, and muscle within a single model. Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, alongside Sandia National Laboratories, have designed this method that turns a single, cheap liquid into a material chameleon.
